Is there a list of the projects in each category somewhere? 'Runtime'
sounds like an appropriate home for vert.x on first hearing.
The project will need to find two mentors from the Architecture Council. I think I recall Chris Aniszczyk volunteering. Your mentors will help guide you through the process.
This thread is to discuss the steps required to move the vert.x project to Eclipse.First off: welcome! We're excited to have the vert.x community join Eclipse.The how to get started page can be found at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Starting_A_New_ProjectThe first step will be to draft a project proposal for review by the Eclipse community. Once we have that in hand, I can also take it to the Eclipse Board and ask for approval for vert.x to use the Apache License. I am assuming that this is Tim's action item. There is a proposal template linked off of the how to get started page mentioned above.

VMware will have to review the Eclipse Foundation's trademark and domain name assignment agreement, which can be found at http://www.eclipse.org/legal/Trademark_Transfer_Agreement.pdf. It doesn't have to be done immediately, but it will need to be done for the project to actually get started.It is Wayne Beaton's role to help new projects get started at Eclipse. You can always reach him at emo at eclipse dot org.Thanks! And again, welcome.

I took a quick stab at it and shared it on GitHub:Please fork and add changes back (ignore everything really but the proposal.html file).

The first sentence in the scope section is good:
<p>
Vert.x is an event driven application framework that runs on the JVM - a run-time with real concurrency and unrivalled performance. Vert.x then exposes the API in Ruby, Java, Groovy, JavaScript and Python. So you choose what language you want to use.

The rest probably belongs in the background section.
The scope of the Vert.x project is:
